Subject:
Dociret No.70-734; SNM-696: Minor Revision to Gencal Atomics' Hot Cell
- Decommissioning Plan
Dear Mr. Gaskin:
As originally submitted, Section 2.3.1, " Rad? logical Safety Training / Retraining," of General Atomics' (GA's) Hot Call Decomraissioning Plan stated that General Employee Radiological Training (GERT) and Radiological Worker Training (RWT) are effective for 15 mornhs. However, this frequency is not consistent with: 1) GA's Califomia radioactive material
. license,2) its NRC special nuclear material license and 3) its Radiological Contingency Plan.
~ Therefore, Section 2.3.1 of tne subject document has been revised so as to make it consistent with these other documents. The revision is also appropriate in view of the reduced scope of activities authorized under GA's possession only license amendment and the reduced radiological parameters which now exist at GA's hot cell facility in particular, and GA's site in l
general. Thus, the 4th paragraph of Section 2.3.1 has been revised to read as follows:
"GERT and RWT are required initla'ly. Both are effective for two years, not to exceed 27 months, except when a change of visitor status (GERT) to worker status occurs, in which case RWT is required."
Unless advised to the contrary, GA intends, in the interest of consistency with the aboya mentioned documents and the efficierit use of its resources, to conduct its GERT and RWT on the frequency stated above when implementing the Hot Ce!! Decomm!ssioning Plan.
A revised page will be prepared to reflect the above revision. Additionally, several other minor revisions are also being prepared which will result in other pagos being revised. When thece additional revised pages have been prepared, a new revislan of the Plan, including the e.bove described revision to Section 2.3.1, will be submitted.
Under separate cover, GA is also communicating the above to the Radiologic Health
/
Branch of the State of Califomia Department of Health Services, if you have any questions regarding th9 above, please do not liesitate to contact me at (619) 455-2823, or Laura Gonzales at (619) 455-2758.
Very Truly Yours, y
